  • Does her voice actor voice Matsumoto?

  • mmmm nice =)

  • Irene will forever be my favorite character in Claymore! So calm, so intelligent, and so kind-hearted. Go Irene!

  • i love to download the mp3 of Irene tell me pls.. ^_^

  • subtitle pls i love Claymore

  • i've always wondered...... did she get killed in the end?

  • @MultiYoisi That is the question here young pal.The mangaka killed Teresa so easily,why he would not show us the death of our beloved elvish silver witch?

  • @renka324 Rafeala isn't 5000 year old

  • @solomonkilliebrew22 I meant she's really old

  • She mentioned she wasn't that much younger than Rafeala and Rafeala is like 5000 years old.

  • Clarice or whatever it is is called mudhead because she is "faulty" yet some people don't think so. If you have any other questions that aren't answered got to claymore.wikia.com

  • someone help me out plzz!! how do irene and opheila have elf ear??

  • @HellsingGirl1 When a "claymore" gets yoki put in them, there bodies transform (the stigma on their chest, maybe elf ears, and their eye color changes)

  • @pieny12 ah i see i know there eyes change coler i didnt know some has a stigma.. did Teresa have a stigma?

  • @HellsingGirl1 Yeah, all claymores do, its never shown but assumed to basically be a horrible scar left from when they put the yoma inside, when teresa showed her body to the bandits that wanted to have a "good time" with her they all nearly barfed and suddenly lost intrest, that was because of the Stigmata, their hair color also turns blonde or white, Teresa used to have black hair for instance.

  • @kathyness1 i see tell me more.. but in the manga the new generation clairees or whatever her name is number 47 of the NG maita called her mama and u know sucked her boobs..and her body looked human she had no stigmata and her hair was brown.. and that also explan why lil claire said " does it hurt" when caire saw Teresa' s body

  • @HellsingGirl1 I don't know i haven't read that far into the manga, its possible that something else is going on there, either way the new generation of claymores could be very different from the likes of Teresa and Irene who are of the older generations, how hold exactly we don't know either (unless they started putting dates in) but claymores stop ageing after they become a claymore, so Teresa could easily have been over a hundred years old when she died.

  • @kathyness1 i see so if Teresa awakend she'll still be alive. and easily be 150 or 250 years old

  • she better live<3

  • Ppl the person u r talking bout getting killed by Rafaela is Iliana not Irene. Irene was the one who was assigned to get Clare bck to the organization

  • @Ghostchick100032 I guessing you're talking about Galatea and she did not get killed shes still alive,

    and sometimes they call Irene ilena

  • she lives after the encounter with priscilla but is later killed by a claymore for deserting the orginazation

  • Clare's borrowed arm pulsed after Irene's encounter with Rafaela, so I assume that's reason enough to believe she is dead D:

  • Just hope she's still alive ! <3

  • That's true but still I don't think that her legs would actually awaken. Because if you think about it Miria's "phantom technique is similar to that but miria's body doen't awaken either if that happened Miria would have a hard time to turn back to human form everytime she used the "phantom attack" (still just my theory :P )

  • interesting ... Irene's main power is to practically "awaken" her arms so she can attack very very fast... here's a thought.. what if she can do the same to her legs!?

    i wonder what she could do with awakened pair of legs.....?

  • @roma0428

    If Clare could do it (against Rigaldo), then Irene certainly could too. After all, she has much more experience with awakening limbs than Clare.

  • @merksperk2 Hm I don' t think that Irene could do what clare did. when Clare awakened her legs, the legs were completely transformed(like aw.beings) but with irene's hand that transforming didn't happen. i thing irene can release and target her yoki towards her arm so that the arm reaches the speed that it would if it was awakened but it doesn't actually awakens like clare's legs. Clare can do that because she is able to keep her human consciousness better tha others cause she's 1/4 yoma only.

  • @maioulaz

    You have a point, but IMO it's certainly possible that Irene could speed up her legs like she did her arms.

  • @merksperk2 that' s true... but I don't think that they would actually awaken... (just my theory) because if you think about it, miria' s teqnique is similar to that... but miria isn t tranforming too.... if she did she would have a hard time to turn back to human form everytime she used her "phantom attack" (still just a theory :P )

  • @maioulaz

    Who said Irene's legs would awaken? I just saying that she probably could speed them up like her arms if she tried.

  • @merksperk2 Yeah and I said that I agree with that... and then I just added my theory :)

  • interesting ... Irene's main power is to practically "awaken" her arms so she can attack very very fast... here's a thought.. what if she can do the same to her legs!?

  • what is the song

  • この曲も格好いい^^

  • I so loved Irene :D Looks kinda like a female Vexen lol xD even the marcant nose. lol she and Teresa are my fave characters in the whole anime. totaly

  • @ZigfriedVonSchroider

    Yeah, but whereas Vexen looks like a pedophile, Ilene looks freaking sexy.

  • I've only been gone for a month and I'm kinda surprised at the number of likes my comments got. Looks like a lot of people want Irene to make an appearance.

  • @merksperk2 dude, are you kidding me? she's AWESOME! of course we want her back. and it seems a little sad to only have her in the series to sacrifice her arm to claire, no?

  • がががががが外人多い・・・こええええ

    コナン過ぎるよイレーネ姉さん。でも好きだよつか大好きだよ。

  • Much as I loved Irene she should stay dead. Too many comics treat death like a day off already.

  • Any and all deaths are unconfirmed unti there is a body, this series has proven that time and again. Until they show her corpse she is MIA.

  • IRENE(L)

  • so epic.. so beautiful... -sobs-

  • Is it ever explained why some of the Claymores have an almost elven appearance (Irene, Ophelia), or is it simply because it "looks cool"?

  • Comment removed

  • @MrTouchShriek No its just during the transformation from human to Claymore you develop silver eyes and some gain elf ears :D

  • @mooganify

    Not true, otherwise they would all have elf ears. Personally I think it's just maybe a racial trait.

  • @Ryu281 Yeah well, I maybe wrong I do not claim to be an expert I just go by what I read on Claymore wiki. And it said what I did.

  • Doesn't she look like Saix from Kingdom hearts?

  • the female sephiroth

  • @Jontwang5 Not quite, But that would be awesome! :D

  • @Jontwang5 i agree 100 percent

  • NO ONE can beat Irene xD She´s alive for sure ^^

  • @BlackDivisionCommand she's probably alive i mean she survive awakened Priscilla LOL

  • @tatoto09

    Good logic.

  • Somehow I don't see how this song fits with her personality at all, but the song is great on its own account.

  • I'll say that Ophelia is the only anime character that made me feel a little uneasy.

  • Comment removed

  • She beat Ophellia who was number 4 with ease, Rafaela is number 5. She was also the former number 2. So obiviously shes still alive

  • Comment removed

  • @megamanbluemoon SPOILER for you rafaela is former #2 and shes much older than teresa and I think she could easily take the #1 spot from alicia

  • @megamanbluemoon

    I agree. Irene manhandled Ophelia with little effort. Since Ophelia (#4) is stronger than Rafaela (#5), I would imagine that Irene is stronger than Rafaela too, since she basically would have been #1 if not for Teresa and Priscilla, the two most powerful characters in the series.

    Without her arms, Irene may or may not have been killed by Rafaela. She could have survived, and I think this is the case.

    Yagi, do not disappoint me...

  • @merksperk2 Rafaela is much stronger than Ophelia she's even stronger than Galatea read the manga!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @tatoto09

    Rafaela was the previously the #2 Claymore, second only to her sister Luciela. Rafaela, during Clare's time, was demoted to #5. Ophelia, however, quickly rose to #4. As a result, the Claymores' rank proceeds as follows:

    Alicia (#1), Beth (#2), Galatea (#3), Ophelia (#4), and Rafaela (#5)

    OPHELIA IS STRONGER THEN RAFAELA.

    Now, seeing that Irene clearly destroyed Ophelia, the #4 Claymore at the time, there is no doubt that Irene is stronger than Rafaela too.

    Get it?

  • Comment removed

  • @merksperk2 NO! Rafaela is still stronger than Ophelia and Irene!

    Rafaela is as strong as her sister and didnt you hear Irene that even if she had both her hands she would only have a chance probably and she even asked her why is she stuck at #5 when shes far stronger.

    Get it?

  • @tatoto09

    Even if Rafaela is as strong as her sister, Irene's power was second only to Teresa and Priscilla, the two strongest characters in the series.

    Seeing that Rafaela and Irene were both former #2 Claymores, I'd guess that a fair battle between both of them could go either way. It's up to the fans and whoever they like more, I guess.

    At any rate, now that Clare got Rafaela's memories when she killed her, hopefully that would reveal if Irene is dead or alive.

  • @merksperk2 im hoping for her to be alive 2 but thats kind impossible cuz she doesnt have any hands :P

  • @tatoto09

    Didn't she say that she could grow back a normal arm within months?

  • @merksperk2 even if she could Rafaela wont wait for her :P

  • @tatoto09

    That's where Clare's memories come in. Hopefully she can tell the fate of Irene.

  • @merksperk2 Ophelia is not stronger than Rafaela but the org leave Rafaela as #5 cause she was important in someway. they need her and they never send her to hunt yoma or kakuseisha only to hunt desertors like Irene.

  • @DeathPenaltyCHAOS Rafeala was the former #2, and her twin sister was the former #1, one or two generations before Clare's generation. If I remember right, the Organization is hoping she'll someday be able to kill her awakened sister.

  • @DevilChildVorn I know but i don´t want to make a spoiler ^^;

  • Teresa of the Faint Smile, Fresh Blood Agatha, Phantom Miria, The Black Ones (Alicia and Beth), God Eye Galatea, Windcutter Flora, Undine of the Twin Swords, Rippling Ophelia, The Dark Silver Eye (Tabitha), Silver-Eyed Lion King (Rigaldo), White Silver King (Isley), One-Horned Bitch (Priscilla, according to Ophelia)

  • i just realized... Ireane looks exactly like my mom O_O

  • @bloodyrosesdrummer

    lucky shit

    i wish i was your daddy...

    LOL

  • I have a theory that she's still alive. Remember her talk with Clare that she has extreme control of her yoki, which allows her to perform Quicksword? So, she may have awakened during her encounter with Rafaela, escaped, but retained her control over herself.

    Just a thought.

  • @merksperk2 Because of her extreme yoki control, she may even have reverted back into human form.

  • @merksperk2

    Now if only if we could find out in season 2.

  • @WtfItsSarah

    The manga is ongoing, although there's no confirmation on Irene's status yet.

    You should read the manga. There's like 70+ chapters in the manga which aren't in the anime.

    The last 2 episodes in the anime aren't canon, in case you didn't know.

  • @merksperk2

    Thanks, where can I read it?

  • @WtfItsSarah

    mangashare (dot) com

    Type in "claymore manga" and the mangashare website would be at the very top.

  • @merksperk2 but sadly, Rafaela was a former # 1 level as Luciela, I think the probabilities that Irene could escape are few... :(

  • @cactusmilo918

    But if there's a slight chance that Irene could still be alive, I can't help but stick to that, can I?

  • @merksperk2 I don't think irene could beat Raffaella^^

    MANGA SPOILER DON?T READ BEFORE!!!! 5

    Raffaella is Luisella's sister , a hold 1st rank claymore, and manga says that raffaella was just a little weaker because she's more yung than luisella, so i don't think a number 2 like Irene with 1 arm could beat Raffaella ^^

  • @trifellaccio92

    Considering that Priscilla and Teresa were the ONLY ones with a higher rank than Irene at the time, Irene may have had a chance to escape from Rafaela. If Irene had both arms, it would have been an even battle.

  • @trifellaccio92

    Put it this way:

    Teresa and Priscilla are stronger than Rafaela. Irene is the 3rd strongest in the list. She is faster than Rafaela. She beats Rafaela.

    Remember when Clare sliced Rafaela to pieces using the Quicksword? At that time, Clare's speed was only 25% of Irene's. Irene, with both arms, definitely outclasses Rafaela.

  • @merksperk2

    But she had no arms when Rafaela found her.

  • @Sonetodecirene

    I'm talking about overall skill here. Rafaela would beat an Irene without arms (no shit, how can a Claymore without arms fight?). But, with her arms, Irene would easily defeat Rafaela.

  • @merksperk2 lol didnt you hear her say in the anime that even if she got both her hands she would only have a chance against Rafaela and the Org wont send Rafaela to kill her if shes much stronger but i still love Irene

    Irene and teresa forever!!!

  • @tatoto09

    Still, Irene would definitely beat Rafaela. Remember when Clare fought and defeated her? If Clare defeated her, Irene certainly can too, given that her Quick Sword is actually twice as fast as Clare's.

  • @merksperk2 clare have defeated Rafaela before, so i can see your logic; Irene can beat her as well, but you have to remember that Irene does not have both of her arms anymore, she cannot weild a sword, all i can think of how irene survived is that Irene used her Yoki to run and escape very fast on her legs by sending Yoki down there.

  • @mp3dog101

    I'm actually hoping that that's the case. Although, with the recent events in the manga, it's hard to find a fitting place in the plot for Irene (currently).

  • @merksperk2 well that Rafaela is just an illusion

  • @merksperk2 but if she's alive... where is she ??

  • @merksperk2 It'd be awesome if she's still alive, we haven't seen her head chopped off, so it is posible that she may be still alive :D

  • @merksperk2 i would love to agree about her awakening and reverting back but i think she wouldnt do that cuz i think she was ready to die :( sorry for killing your hopes :P

  • @tatoto09

    I don't think so because when Clare left Irene then Irene said that Clare doesn't get worried about her because she didn't die or kill so easy.

    I don't know how she survived but that statement implicate that she must live. Otherwise the statement is introduced pointless by the mangaka

  • @PsiAbstract Another very good point! And in the manga world, every panel is precious space, so the mangaka wouldn't waste one on a pointless or meaningless statement.

  • @PsiAbstract Irene wanted Clare to leave and continue forward without worrying about her. She wanted Clare to feel less guilty about taking her right arm. At least, that's what I believe for now. Until her status is resolutely confirmed (or the manga ends, whichever comes first), I consider her dead for all intents and purposes. It would be awesome if she came back, but this is Claymore - anybody can die, even if they're cool.

  • @Kyuubi92 Both manga and anime did not show to us Irene's death,and I can't help but wonder why.She concealed her youki for so many years,then perhaps she got awesomely strong and managed to survive against Rafaela.I mean,come on she did it once(against Priscilla),why not twice eh?

  • @luisimgb18

    That, and the fact that Priscilla is much more powerful than Rafaela. If Irene managed to survive against Priscilla, then she theoretically could also survive against Rafaela.

  • @merksperk2 two more pieces of evidence;

    1) In this anime, everyone who's dead... is shown very explicitly DEAD. You see them getting hacked into little bits.

    2) actually piggy backs onto what you said... Irene's arm pulsed on clare...which usually only happens when a character is awakening their yoki aura. I think you hit the nail on the head.

  • @DevilChildVorn

    Wow I did not even consider that...I feel so idiotic. That is a very sound theory and somehow I really hope it becomes true.

    On another note, I am curious of as to what will Clare's reaction be and if she will truly return the arm - as irrelevant to the plot as that sounds since Clare REALLY needs that arm. I am simply concerned since ARMLESS IRENE sounds less threatening than QUICK SWORD IRENE.

  • @Narkxia I'm curious too. Honestly, I think when all is said and done, she will try to. Hunting and killing Priscilla is her whole goal in life, to avenge Teresa. Once that's done, she won't have any use for Irene's arm. And honestly, I think the gesture of Irene giving up her arm was very meaningful to Clare, as was the subtext of some of the things that Irene said. On some level, Irene cared deeply for Teresa, and that would definitely garner a lot of respect from Clare.

  • @DevilChildVorn some of you might go "Wtf makes you say that?" but there IS some proof. :p In the anime, the ONLY time you see Irene smile is when Clare is attaching her arm (on top of the fact that she cared enough to cut off her own arm...) and in the manga she said "Live, Clare. You're the only proof that Teresa ever existed." Irene is protecting Clare the only way she can, since Teresa is no longer able to. Irene's not heartless, just aloof... kind of like LoTR elves, actually XD

  • @DevilChildVorn

    Well just like most of the claymores in the orgy's (organization's) employ, they're made to be aloof in order to keep their dirty little secret well a secret. I even told my siblings who also watch Claymore that Irene does care about Teresa and Clare. I cannot word it out and I ran out of english (it's not my first language) trying to type it her but short version: I totally agree with what you said. Irene's smile as well as the title of that episode is very symbolic.

  • @merksperk2 why does your comment have more likes than the vid??

  • @billybobjoe1699

    Probably 'cause the song isn't representative of the badassery of Irene.

  • @merksperk2 yea, not to mention that after the butchery that Miria went through and survived, the idea that ol' Elf Ears lived isn't so crazy. Also the fact that they are reviving the previous number ones....

  • @Pyrfalcon Well, Miria wasn't really hit that bad, after she *spoilers* 'got attacked', they made it look like she was killed beyond question, to save her from the 'onlookers'. They hid her behind their bodies, and then making hundreds of tiny flesh wounds, not hitting vital spots. Like the dialogue, "if you had killed even one of us you may have died" and why they're on her side her . But yeah, Irene may have done that, but she wasn't exactly in a fighting mood- hope she was though... =)

  • @merksperk2 with no arms though? seems a little hard to believe, unless she's super gifted with kicking.

  • @myrandalopezrocks Irene was supergifted enough to fake her death to Priscilla, she might have done the same with Rafaela.

    Irene is just pwnsome.

  • @merksperk2 I think Rachel killed her

  • @merksperk2 its sad that rather cuz of her good controll she didnt awaken :( ...would be awesome though..... elf ears 4 eva :3

  • @merksperk2 Irene is alive

  • i love ilena

  • @RunedeEie  lmao

  • jean rules!

  • @tallonmetroids271 Yeah, Jean is one of my favorite's

  • Lol elfs? The transfusion from the yomas make your skins paler and your hair also turns lighter kinda like albinism, some become blond others are like Irene, somehow the transformation is more acentuated and the hears are part of the process since the transformation hits them harder their bodies change as well.

  • ilena is one of my favorite claymore

  • My most favorite Claymore!!

    Irene!!

  • This is probably my favorite claymore character theme song yet. I fucking love irene. She's one of my favorite claymores. My number one fav is probably clare though.

  • well look at her ears there elf ears and the long white hair generaly what an elf has and if you watch the serries the number 4 warrior Ophelia is also an elf has same long pointy ears and long white hair

  • @kellnoor

    They aren't elfs, the yoma transfusion makes the ears of some warriors take that shape.

  • theresa is my fav

  • i love love love IRENE she's the most awesome claymore! ^ ^

  • "But now still, I think of you Strongly! strongly!!"

    Ha! I knew it! It is a hint about Irene having feelings for Teresa! ...sorry, I'm a yuri fan, I'm trained to see yuri in everything ;P

  • I hated rafaela for killing her.

  • tough and smart woman

  • she's so awesome! XD

  • Irene is my fav character :}

  • dam i was so mad irene dies in the anime she has no arms left. she gave her arm to clare to live on and move on she has terra blood in her. irene dies by number 5 clymore. But i got the feeling she didint die in the manga, might be a big chance she still alive.

  • my fav claymore ^^

  • I would dump all claymores for Irene!

  • Irene is one of the coolest claymores, but no one beats Clare (after getting Irenes Arm)

  • I was really shocked when Irene gave her remaiining arm to Clare...

    but then she could improve herself more!

    and that was the best thing for her life :D

  • Irene ftw!

  • Love this one =o

  • shes an elf and elfs are sexy as hell :)

  • yes =D

  • @kellnoor Ohhhh siiiii Tienes toda la razon, Irene es ardiente.

    Traduction: Ohhhh yeah you are right, Irene is hot

    I vote your comment

  • @kellnoor shes not a elf all claymores start as humans ALL clamore not to start a fight i mean you comment is true but shes a claymore not elf

  • MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CLAYMORE

  • character song of rafaela???

  • dang that is a great solution... but then she would have to learn to control a different type of power

  • 823265 i have a solution that would totally work..deneve has like mega limb regeneration she could give her two arms NO PROBLEM like she tore off one her arms ccoz it was infected and threw it at the manster and then like three pages in the manga later she just spawned a new one xDD

  • She ripped it off, because she had three little spike spawn tube things. That if she didn't rip her arm off, she would've died! HIZAH FOR READING IT!

  • Yeah, that COULD work... I hope Irene's still alive.

  • @sasuke19000 yeah but Deneve is a defensive style warrior D: Irene is offensive style

  • Clare felt in Irene's arm that something happened. I doubt Rafaela would have shown mercy to Irene, but I guess it is possible. Clare will be able to know for sure when she finds time to sort through Rafaela's memories. If Irene died, it will probably show it in Rafaela's memories.

    J.

  • I just hope that Irene's still alive =\

    she's a great character...somehow in all the crazyness of the manga right now Irene's gonna pop out & help "them"

    lol

  • how? she doesn't have any arms

  • LAWLS if shes alive that is :'( Irene is awesomez. But Deneve pwnz too X3

  • its awesome cool irene is the best

  • GUITARSOLO!

  • Hai loqutor, this is eva lol.

    Technically we don't know if she was killed-- everyone else who died we saw them die in grisly detail, so there is plausibility deniability of this particular death.... it's a bit odd that we didn't see it happen.

    I'd say somethin about the new manga chapter but don't want to post spoilers.

  • Sorry, 'plausible deniability'

  • Teresa X Irene forever!

  • Deneve is awesome:] But irene is also a rlly good spirited characterLawl.

  • sadly Irene did die at the hands of Rafaela. Rafaela said she was coming for her head even though she had no arms. Later in that episode she said something about killing Irene.

  • But does that really mean that she is dead and that she did die by the hands of Rafaela? No it does not. There is in face a possibility that she is dead but there is also a possibility that Irene is in face alive.

    *SPOILER* (kinda sorta maybe?)

    In the manga you learn that Irene can regenerate her arm but its going to take about a month and it wont have the power that her other arm possessed. You learn that she can regenerate but the arm is going to be about the strength of a humans arm.

  • irene is very serious and has some beautiful eyes

  • poor Irene... u know u don't really have to cut ur arm right? Clare's going to learn the Flash Sword someway...

  • all claymore caracter' songs are awesome

  • lol she has my middle name XD

  • Erene is the one of my favorite in Claymore! I feel pitty for her...

    Her arms... T_T I wish shes not dead because of Rafaela...

  • did Rafaela really kill Irene? cuz they never showed it and i'm hoping that Irene's still alive. Irene's one of my favorites
